320: They're stronger
'Smack~~~'
With a crisp gunshot, the signal soldier who went to call for reinforcements fell to the ground, and a scream of pain was heard in his ears. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although there were thousands of enemies here, the wailing of the signal soldier still reached the ears of every soldier, faintly, giving people a feeling of oppression.
The Messenger collapsed not far from the group, not dying immediately, and the Medic quickly ran towards the Messenger.
There was already an early warning from the communication soldiers, and the medical soldiers did not run directly over stupidly, but used the surrounding trees to constantly make evasive actions back and forth.
Don't think that the medic's job is not to kill people, so he doesn't have to learn these skills.
In fact, when it comes to various evasion steps, medical soldiers are even far more than ordinary soldiers, which is the foundation of their lives, and no one dares to be careless.
'Smack~~~'
Another gunshot rang out, targeting the medic who was approaching the communications corps, but the medics, who had been prepared for a long time, were not shot this time, and a thigh-thick tree blocked the bullet for the medics.
The bullet flew down the medic's ear, and the wood chips stabbed the tender flesh next to the ear, which hurt a little, but now is not the time to care about this, on the battlefield, this little thing is nothing.
"Sniper, kill the little devil with the black gun for me." Elevation roared.
The situation has developed to this point, and if Elevation can't see the situation, then the company commander will do it in vain.
There are more than a hundred of them here, and if the Japanese attack them, they don't even say a bad word, they don't even need to aim, and a bullet comes over and has a great chance of taking a soldier away.
But they aimed at the signal soldiers who went to ask for help, and the medical soldiers went to the rescue, and it is estimated that they were also regarded by the Japanese as a replacement for the signal soldiers who asked for help.
If it is according to what is said in the military book, then it is obvious that the current approach of the Japanese is to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
Gao Cheng didn't know if his company had entered the Japanese encirclement, but now, even if it didn't fully enter, it was almost there.
"Company commander, the little devil is obviously prepared, it's too dangerous to send a signal soldier out alone, I think it's better for us to stick to it and wait for help." The platoon leader said.
"Well, it's really too dangerous, retreat two hundred meters back, the terrain is a little higher there, we won't suffer too much, a platoon is responsible for one direction, we just need to hold there. In addition, if you find an enemy, shoot directly to make the noise as loud as possible, and hope that the surrounding allies will come to support as soon as possible. Elevation nodded and immediately ordered.
Now the terrain where they are located is a bit low, although there are no particularly obvious high points around, but it is still higher than their place, and the terrain there two hundred meters behind is slightly higher than here, although it still cannot make up for the advantage of the terrain.
Even after getting there, the accuracy of the rifle design will be greatly affected, but it doesn't matter, they still have a mortar and a heavy machine gun, as long as the Japanese dare to come over, it will be no problem to clean them up.
As for sending the signal soldiers out again, this is too dangerous, Gao Cheng doesn't want to send soldiers to death, he would rather waste more ammunition and create a lot of momentum to attract the attention of the surrounding friendly forces.
"Yes!" The platoon leader agreed.
Soon, the order for elevation was transmitted to the entire company, the four platoons at the rear, and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The Royal Army's training on weekdays is not a homework, battlefield advancement, battlefield retreat, both of which are key training subjects, in order to prevent the retreat of the troops from being chaotic when the battle situation is difficult, which will lead to the rout of the whole army.
And history has proved that where there is an orderly retreat, although the retreat will take a little longer, the casualties of the troops are minimal.
And the facts also proved this theory, with the retreat of the fourth platoon, followed by the second platoon and the third platoon also began an orderly retreat, on the way did encounter the Japanese army's resistance, but only sporadic resistance.
The Japanese did not arrange too many troops at close range, and these ambushes had good marksmanship, basically every shot was sure to hit the enemy.
It's just that once the shots are fired, the hiding place of the Japanese army will usher in an overwhelming number of bullets, some Japanese soldiers are directly beaten into a hornet's nest by random guns, and some are suppressed by random guns and can't raise their heads, so they are accurately killed by snipers.
In the 200-meter retreat, the company added more than a dozen wounded and killed one, but it also killed at least twenty Japanese soldiers who were ambushed nearby.
Judging from the data, this battle did not suffer a loss, but Gao Cheng thought that he had lost a lot.
His soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, each of them is a veteran who has been trained for several years, and the fighting quality is not comparable to those recruits.
If the losses of his company are too large now, then they will not be qualified to participate in some of the major battles in the future?
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Behind a hillside not far away, a Japanese soldier Nakasa looked at the scene in front of him and frowned fiercely.
"They're stronger than they were two years ago, and the outcome of this battle could be very bad for us." The Japanese soldier said slowly, his tone full of heaviness.
"Your Excellency Captain, I think they are at most fancy, they will only retreat when they encounter resistance, and they don't have the spirit of a soldier at all, so they shouldn't be that strong, right?" One of the lieutenants questioned a little.
"Kawaguchi-kun, you are a top student who graduated from the Imperial Army Non-commissioned Officer School, you should know very well what this situation means now? The tactical literacy of the opposing Chinese army has obviously surpassed that of the Imperial Japanese Army, and now we can only pray that the Chinese army that appears in front of us is their most elite unit, and if the other Chinese armies have this kind of tactical literacy, we will be defeated. Junroku Yamazaki shook his head helplessly.
Before entering the ambush circle, the identities of the Japanese troops lying in ambush nearby were revealed, and the commander on the opposite side immediately sent someone for help, and after the signal corps was hit, the commander on the opposite side did not panic.
Instead, he calmly ordered the whole company to retreat, according to the plan, once all the Chinese army entered the ambush circle, two squads of Japanese troops would go around the rear and occupy the small high ground, and then the Japanese army would encircle the Chinese army in the encirclement on all sides.
Once the encirclement is completed on all sides, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and it will be absolutely difficult for the people inside to escape even if they have wings.
This is not alarmist, if Junroku Yamazaki led a brigade of more than 1,000 troops, and could not win the battle of nearly 200 people in a company of the Royal Army, then the Japanese soldiers could directly commit suicide by disembowelment, and what face would they have to fight?
But now the situation was different, and the retreat was orderly, and although the hidden soldiers who were lying in ambush had hindered it, they were quickly eliminated one by one.
The delay was not enough for the two squads to get around.
And once the company had occupied the small high ground first, with nearly two hundred rifles and a heavy machine gun, it would be good if the two squads had attacked rashly.
Although the Royal Army has been expanded several times, their firepower advantage has been weakened a lot, but it is still not comparable to the current Japanese army.
The Yamazaki Brigade is the best of the Sixth Division, the most tenacious in combat effectiveness, and it is also the best equipped brigade, but even the Yamazaki Brigade is not as good as a company on the opposite side.
"The ambush failed, and the Sato squadron and the Ono squadron were ordered to attack immediately, dragging the Shina people and buying time for the two squads behind the circle. Yamashita Squadron and Fujino Squadron circled around and dragged the reinforcements of the Shina people, no matter what, let's destroy one of his companies first. Junroku Yamazaki suddenly ordered.
Junroku Yamazaki knew very well that once the company below took the first step to the small high ground two hundred meters behind them, then he could basically guarantee that he would not be defeated, at least by virtue of their weapon superiority, he could drag the reinforcements to arrive.
Don't look at the current Yamazaki brigade occupies a geographical advantage, but the retreat of the 200-meter elevation company has basically been out of the range of the rifle, although it is still within the range of the heavy machine gun, but the problem is that the trees here are dense, and the heavy machine gun can fire a hundred bullets, and half of them can hit the opponent's side.
And Japan is a country that lacks resources, and heavy machine guns can't fire one by one, so how can they waste bullets so much?
Therefore, once they withdrew there, the Japanese either chose to retreat and return in vain, or they chose to leave their current positions and take the initiative to attack the elevation company.
It was because the elevation company found the Japanese army in ambush before entering the ambush circle, so the Japanese army, which originally occupied the absolute initiative, instantly became passive, and if they wanted to get the results of the battle, they had to follow the elevation company.
In this way, the Yamazaki Brigade is tantamount to giving up its geographical advantage and going to fight with the elevation company.
Firepower, this is not an advantage of the Japanese.
"Onboard ......"
The Japanese soldiers who received the order raised the 30-type rifles in their hands one by one, and there were bayonets hanging from the muzzles, as if they were going to fight with the bayonets of the elevation company.
The Japanese squadron was actually about the same size as a company in the Royal Army, and the number of each division of both was 18,000, so two squadrons were about 400 people.
Even though the Gao Cheng Company was a veteran of several years of training, the soldiers of the Gao Cheng Company were more or less drumming in their hearts when they saw that the Japanese, twice their size, suddenly launched a charge towards them.
The personal quality of the fighters is not equal to the combat effectiveness, their personal quality is indeed very high, but they have no battlefield experience, only when they have gained enough battlefield experience, and then to face such a battle, it is estimated that many people will sneer, and then what should they do.
"Speed up, withdraw!" Seeing that the Japanese troops left the position and suddenly rushed out, Gao Cheng couldn't help shouting that he must reach the small high ground behind him before the Japanese rush over, and at least mount the machine guns there, otherwise, the troops are likely to be scattered.
